In the past year or so I’ve become addicted to Block’s of the Month (BOM) and Quilt Alongs (QA). I love that each block is a new thing to learn and it’s finished quickly. I never thought I’d be a sampler quilt kind of gal but it looks like I am! They’re fun to do and in the end it’s great to step back and see all the cool pieces you’ve created come together into one quilt (or four or five table runners…)

So…I’m participating in a *few* this year including the one that I’m running on my blog. Each Monday I’m going to try to post pictures of the progress I’m making on them all and the progress of those following along with the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along as well. I think it will be fun to watch each quilt grow!

Important Links to Participate (you don’t have to buy a kit to join in the fun!) Be sure to check out the blog posts from Kym – she show’s you different ways you can put the block together to make an entire quilt – too fun!

So, I’m a bit behind starting this quilt along but I’m going to show you all that it’s never to late to join in the fun! Sure I won’t have a whole month to finish each block – but who like’s to wait that long anyway? This way I’ll have to put them together faster and I’ll get to see the whole picture sooner!

Home Sweet Home

The last quilt along I will talk about today is the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along I’m running on my blog. I’m really happy with all the blocks that have been shown so far and look forward to finishing the rest of them! Here’s how everyone’s progressing so far in the QA:

Here are Diane’s blocks that she’s finished so far! PatDenino has created some super fun blocks with a few of her own ‘tweaks’. (LOVE the tweaks!) Quilties has these five blocks made so far! I’m seriously loving the whimsical look these blocks are going to make.

And here are my blocks so far!

The next two blocks will go up Tuesday and Thursday so be sure to join me back here to see what comes next!

I just started mine this weekend at a retreat -- As soon as I download the photos off my camera I will share them on the flicker site and my blog this next week! They are all so much fun to make! I am glad I decided to make them and join in the fun -- better late than never! I am doing mine all in Blues with a touch of green and a tiny bit of yellow -- but mostly Blues --- Using Quilts by Barb's Hand dyed fabrics and Dye Candy Hand dyed Fabrics! Love them so much! Thanks for sharing!
